Sintesi Legislator

Generato dall'IA

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of a divorce agreement clause requiring periodic payments to continue after one party's death. The parties argued whether such a post-mortem obligation was legally enforceable against the deceased's estate. The court decided that the agreement remains valid because the obligation is clearly defined and intended to be inherited by the estate upon death.

Section 1 of the Marriage Code; Section 10 of the Estates Act: A contractual obligation to make periodic payments to a surviving spouse, agreed upon during pending divorce proceedings, is valid and binding on the deceased's estate if the agreement explicitly stipulates that the duty transfers upon death.

Testo completo

Medan en äktenskapsskillnad var anhängig ingick makarna A och B ett avtal om

avvittring. I avtalet förband B sig att under A:s livstid betala ett i avtalet

närmare specificerat belopp till A kvartalsvis. Det konstaterades i avtalet att

skyldigheten att betala detta belopp till A skulle övertas av B:s dödsbo om B skulle

avlida före A.

Fråga huruvida avtalet mellan A och B är ogiltigt till den del det föreskriver att de

periodvisa betalningarna ska fortgå även efter B:s död.
